During the summer, areas of Centennial and Unincorporated Arapahoe County experienced a rash of incidents regarding theft
from motor vehicles. From August 23rd to September 23rd alone there were 34 incidents reported. Members of the IMPACT team worked closely with the crime analyst and assigned investigators
to develop information on a possible suspect(s).
After extensive research, information was developed on several suspects who lived in the area where the incidents had occurred.
Surveillance was conducted and several subjects were contacted resulting in a multitude of charges ranging from alcohol violations
to possession of stolen property.
Based on the above contacts, investigators were able to obtain a search warrant on a suspect’s house which resulted in the
recovery of several stolen items possibly related to the above incidents. Furthermore, members were able to purchase a stolen
GPS from a suspect which resulted in his arrest. In the weeks since the arrest, there has been only one incident regarding
a theft from motor vehicle.
